UPGRADING OF PARAFFINIC GASOLINE BLENDING COMPONENTS BY CYCLIZATION WITH ATINUM/MAGNESIUM OXIDE/ALUMINA MATRIX CATALYST

摘要

UPGRADING OF PARAFFINIC GASOLINE BLENDING COMPONENTS BY CYCLIZATION WITH A PLATINUM/MAGNESIUM OXIDE/ALUMINA MATRIX CATALYST (D#72,082 -F) The octane number of paraffinic gasoline blending components may be increased by (1) cyclizing the n-paraffins with hydrogen under reforming conditions in the presence of a new catalyst prepared by depositing a noble metal on magnesium oxide and mixing the resulting noble metal-magnesia into an alumina gel matrix, and (2) subjecting the cyclized component to conventional catalytic reforming. -I-
